There are so many great song in my mother tongue that virtually nobody aside from the relatively few speakers could realistically even come into contact with. I'm certain all of you non-English speakers here can relate! I linked one of my favourite songs, what are yours?

Some modern Australian music has made it to the world like Tame Impala and King Gizzard but there’s a whole heap that hasn’t really. I’d recommend Boo Seeka and Safia.

French-Canadian here! If you like prog rock, you should check out Harmonium! I recommend their album "Si on avait besoin d'une cinquième saison", here's my favourite song of theirs.

Another classic is Beau Dommage, a folk rock group (with a bit of prog influence). Song recommendation: Le Géant Beaupré

To plug a more contemporary artist, P'tit Belliveau is an Acadian artist from Nova Scotia who does stuff influenced by traditional Acadian folk but with a lot of modern pop and electronic sound. I absolutely love everything he puts out, but check out RRSP/Grosse Pièce. His music videos are always stellar as well.

I think everyone knows NENA's 99Luftbalons, but my second favorite German song with a title that starts with a number is:

36 Grad by 2Raumwohnumg is just a perfect ode to summer.

ANYTHING by The Tragically Hip. Seems that no one outside of Canada has heard of them, and that's such a crime.

Bobcaygeon

Best damn hip playlist

God Bobcaygeon is such a good song. I'm not a huge Hip fan (I know, I know, sacrilegious to say as a Canadian) but I'll always bop to Bobcaygeon. It inspires such a feeling of nostalgic melancholy. Makes me want to go hug someone I love or something.
